Takeover of the project?

[voxik]

Hi,

It seems that you spent some time maintaining the ditz. Would you consider to take over the project completely? I am asking, because recently, there was reported issue against ditz package in Fedora [1] and it seems that you have fix for this issue. The original upstream stated that he is no longer interested in the project [2], so it would be nice if ditz would found new maintainer. Thank you.

Hi,

I think there are new maintainers already [1].

I installed Fedora 16. But I couldn't reproduce that issue.
I think this reporter installed another customized gem.
Because rpm of rubygem-ditz will not be installed to $HOME.

It's just syntax error. I want to see /home/matej/.gem/gems/ditz-0.5/lib/model.rb:214.

Ah, I was not aware about the maintainers and the gitorious repository. Thank you. What is the best place to ask current maintainers for new release? The ditz mailing list?

Initially, I was also confused about the backtrace as well, but it can be reproduced on F17+ with packaged rubygem-ditz. The error stays the same, just the paths are more reasonable.

This is Ruby 1.9.3 related issue and could be reproduced with "gem install ditz" as well.

Here is the same bug reproduced just with RPM packaged rubygems ("Adresář nebo soubor neexistuje" means "Directory or file doesn't exist" in Czech).
